WebJEA: PowerShell driven Web Forms for Secure Self-Service

on YouTube ↗46m

" summary

WebJEA claims it can build a web interface for any PowerShell script in 60 seconds by parsing comment-based help for parameters, validation and help text and auto‑generating a form. It runs as a .NET app pool account (runs with one credential (app pool identity)) and uses DSC for deployment; demos show deployment in about under 15 minutes on Server 2016 with PowerShell 5.1. It supports AD group security, logging, onload scripts and form directives but runs scripts synchronously and has some UI/performance limits.
